Ray Jepsen (John Magaro) is a humble co-owner of a hardware store who still can’t believe he
managed to marry local beauty queen Stacy-Lynn. When his private investigator friend, Skip
(Steve Zahn), reveals to Ray that Stacy-Lynn is having an affair, Ray decides to kill himself. He
secures a gun and goes to a seedy motel parking lot to do the deed, but before he can pull the
trigger, he is mistaken by a stranger for a low-rent hitman (a sinister Dylan Baker) and given an
envelope full of cash and an address. Desperate to win back his self-respect and his wife, Ray
decides to take the job — but soon wishes he had just killed himself.
